Lesjofors: Centuries of Spring Engineering Excellence
Lesjofors is one of the most storied names in spring manufacturing, with roots that trace back to 1675 when the company began as an iron mill in the small Swedish village that shares its name. Coil springs became a cornerstone of the business as early as 1852, when Lesjofors produced its first coil spring just three years after it began drawing wire and wire rope. That unbroken heritage of metallurgical craftsmanship is a significant reason why technicians and enthusiasts around the world trust the brand today.
Spring manufacturing started in earnest in the mid-19th century, and from the 1930s onward, Lesjofors expanded rapidly through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Today, the group — owned by Beijer Alma AB, a publicly listed Swedish industrial investment company — comprises more than 50 manufacturing and sales companies across many countries, making it one of the largest and most diverse spring manufacturing groups in the world.
What Sets Lesjofors Apart
Automotive springs may look deceptively simple, but the engineering behind them is anything but. Lesjofors produces its springs from superior-grade spring steel using state-of-the-art, computer-controlled machines, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent quality. An advanced zinc phosphate and epoxy powder paint surface treatment shields each spring from corrosion, extending service life well beyond what bare steel could offer.
The company produces the world's largest range of OE-replacement coil springs, offering both parallel-wire (constant thickness) and tapered-wire options to match original equipment exactly. All parallel-wire coil springs carry a 3-year warranty, while tapered-wire springs are backed by a 2-year warranty — providing peace of mind for installers and their customers alike. Every spring is manufactured to matching-quality standards in accordance with BER 330 and 461, meaning they can be fitted without voiding existing vehicle warranties.
Coverage for European, Asian & Domestic Vehicles
While Lesjofors built its reputation on the European car and light commercial vehicle market, the brand's catalog has grown to cover a remarkably broad range of applications. Whether the vehicle in question is a BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Toyota, Ford, or Chevrolet, Lesjofors offers a precision-fit solution. This wide compatibility makes the brand a go-to resource for independent repair shops and dealerships that service a mixed fleet.
Beyond suspension coil springs and coil spring sets, Lesjofors also engineers gas springs — the pressurized struts that hold open hoods, hatches, and cargo covers. Their lift supports, cargo cover lift supports, and trunk lid lift supports are produced with the same manufacturing discipline and quality standards as the brand's suspension springs, giving vehicle owners a reliable OE-style replacement for these often-overlooked but highly functional components.
A Brand Built on Quality and Availability
For any shop or DIY enthusiast tackling a suspension refresh or a sagging hatch strut, Lesjofors delivers a combination that is difficult to beat: centuries of metallurgical expertise, modern production technology, and an expansive parts catalog built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
